In this video message, Dr. Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, discusses "Education for Peace," the 2013 theme for the United Nations International Day of Peace; the importance of equal access to education for all people around the world; and how Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, the Jane Goodall Institute's global education and service-learning program promotes peace and harmony among people, animals and the environment.

Each year, as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, Dr. Goodall participates in the UN's observance of the International Day of Peace including a ceremonial ringing of the UN's Peace Bell and Student Conference. This year's theme, Sustainable Peace for a Sustainable Future was very fitting for Dr.

Jane Goodall was honored in France as an "Officier de l'Ordre de la Légion d'Honneur." She received the award on January 17 in a private ceremony with French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin at l'Hotel Matignon, the prime minister's office in Paris.

The Légion d'Honneur, established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, is the most senior Order in France, and appointment to the Legion is a great honor.
